Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess household food insecurity among slum-dwelling women in India and to explore if household food insecurity is associated with utilization of maternal healthcare services, birth outcomes and infant growth.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the utilization of maternal healthcare services antenatally, during delivery, and postnatally associated with household food insecurity among slum-dwelling women in Pune, India?
* Is household food insecurity associated with birth outcomes and infant growth in these women?

Participants will be asked:

* For information related to socio-demographic characteristics, healthcare services utilization, food insecurity experience, dietary intake, and infant feeding indicators using a questionnaire.
* Anthropometric measurements of the participant, her husband and her infant/s will be collected.
* Two focused group discussions (FGDs) will also be conducted to gain insight into the perceptions of these women with respect to the utilization of maternal healthcare services. One FGD will be conducted for women who availed all the healthcare services and the other for those who did not adequately avail of the antenatal and postnatal services.
